Which is better: Spendor BC1, SP1/2, or SP2/3.

I'm currently trying to add a pair of Spendor speakers to a 14'x24' listening room that is already configured with: Spendor S3/5, Marantz MA-22 amp, and Synthesis Shine integrated amp. I would appreciate your recommendations as to which Spendor (i.e., BC1, SP1/2, or SP2/3) would be better for that layout. My preference is for a warm, good bass with vocal clarity on speakers. Thanks.

My experience is with the smaller, more WAF Spendors, wherein I'll recommend that you chase the Classic S3/1p, which is like the 3/5 except that with a vented 6.5", and therefore has much greater extension, while also being +4dB more efficient. I use a pair of these along with the excellent SC3 (like the 3/5 but with a second mid-woofer) to make a seamless HT front trio. Forgiving up top, extremely natural mids. I use a sub in this system, so the larger Spendors would be inappropriate.
The Boston Spendor dealer still loves the SP1/3, and sells them to us old farts who can accept the archaic box geometry!
